5:20 am : A Cold Sunday Morning. No alarm, yet the mind's alarm wakes me up on the dot, without fail every Sunday. I look at the boys, fast asleep. Mommy in me feels like letting them sleep for a few minutes more. I go to them and whisper, hey do you want to sleep in today or go for your football/cricket classes? The answer with sleepy eyes is YES AMMA,we will go to the ground.. The tone for the day is set with the enthusiasm the children have. 6:00 am The boys are ready in their uniforms, spic white for cricket and red for football. We still have 15 minutes so we decide to cycle to the ground for their sports practice. It is cold and nice, I enjoy the speckle of sunlight and the morning dew. Traffic is sparse with just the few newspaper boys and milkmen all cloaked up. To me chaperoning the boys for their respective classes is no chore. It is JOY. Unmatched and unparalleled. 6:15 am The venue is a burst of energy. Effervescent, ebullient, bubbly,e...
The word CORONA actually means the ring of light around the sun or the moon usually formed during an eclipse. In these current times I guess all of humanity has forgotten that interpretation of the word!! I am a working Mompreneur and this forced break has left me with a few or even no choices.

Everyday sees an overflow of wisecracks, parodies about " Surviving", "Stayin Alive", "WFH causing stress to the whole family and several more. Here is a peek into ...
I jogged today, by the lake which is one of my favorite places, where thoughts accompany me more than anyone else. That bliss and solitude of being able to be one with nature whilst soaking in several reflections is a space I treasure. The weather was pleasant and I could hear the thundering clouds, the breeze was refreshing and it was a relief to be out from the scorching heat that Bangalore has been subject to in the last few months. The heavens opened up and there was a big downpour, there were few people walking and everyone scurried for shelter on the tank bund. Few found trees, while few cut short their walk, some more chose to run, the children playing cricket dashed right out of the park. The rain lashed out and got heavier, I could not see much, the ground below my feet was all slippery and slushy, the jog however was enjoyable and the rain seemed to be watering away all my troubles. The reflective thoughts in me turned to enjoyment, of just the ecstasy of lettin...
